Suspension Settling

I just had my OW HD kit installed and wanted to know how long I should give it to settle? before making the final adjustments to the front lift and then the allignment. Currently looking at 37.5" on the front driver-side, 38 on the front pass-side, 38.75 rear driver-side (full tank of gas), 39.75 rear pass-side.

I took the truck up and down a nearby dirt trail with quite a bit of ruts and deep pot holes to try and help it out a little.
I have an appointment for an allignment on Thursday morning, but I can change it if more time is typically needed to settle a new suspension.

When I did my lift I gave it a week. After the week I adjusted the front so it was the same as the rear. Another week just to make sure and make any last adjustments. So a total of two weeks. My buddy has a performance shop and he said I should wait a few weeks. That's what I did. Just my two cents.

I did my alignment the same day and it is still ok. My other 4runner I could never keep it aligned it seemed every other time I took it wheeling I would knock it out of alignment. I could probably use another alignment but tires seem to be wearing ok.
 
I have done mine 3x, had it too high at first. Give it a month or two.
Front is 37.5" back is 39" settled a bit after towing trailer and some offroad usage.
